WARNING: THIS THREAD HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE TELEGRAMS SECTION TO ALLOW VOTES FROM THE LATEST CHAPTER (889). THEREFORE PLEASE MIND THAT THERE MIGHT BE SPOILERS FROM SAID LATEST CHAPTER HERE.

Hello everyone. Hope the holiday season have been good to you so far. And what are the Holidays for this section without our annual Ohara Awards. Yup. It's that time of year again. It's that time of year where we look back at all the highs and lows of our favorite manga in 2017 and celebrate yet another milestone in Oda's masterpiece.

However due to the unfortunate decrease in activity in our section, we have to decided to skip the nomination step and have you fine folk of the Ohara section directly vote for your favorite characters and moments for this year.

Simply vote in the categories below and we'll count the votes at beginning of the new year to determine the winners. In case of a tie, we'll simply hold a tie-breaker in a separate thread to determine the winner of that particular category.

Rules:
-One only vote per category
-Only chapters released in 2017 are eligible (chapters 852 till 889)
-You can only change your votes before the deadline
-Mention the chapter number where applicable for the Direction awards
-Voting ends on the 31st of December, 2017
-Winners will be announced on the 1st of January, 2018

You can use my votes below as an example.

The Categories are as follows:

Character categories:
Character of the Year
Best Strawhat
Best Supporting Character (non-Strawhat)
Best Villain
Best Male Character
Best Female Character
Best New Character
Funniest Character
Best Design
Best Breakout Character (least expected of, delivered most)

Direction Categories:
Chapter of the Year
Best Sub-plot
Best Entrance
Most Epic Moment
Funniest Moment
Most Anticipated Moment of 2018

Note they we removed both the "Best Fight" and "Best Returning Character" awards due to eligibility constraints. The Best Fight award will automatically go to "Luffy vs. Katakuri" and will be officially announced as the winner on the 1st of January.

So vote, enjoy, and have yourselves a very merry Christmas and a happy and fantastic holiday season.

Character- Lord Katakuri. One of the top character designs in the series and arguably the most impressive skills that we've seen from a non-Yonkou Pirate so far. Devil Fruit skills that one might think would be relatively lame but Lord Katakuri has been amazingly efficient and creative with them. Basically every aspect of his character is amazing so far.

Straw Hat Pirate- I'm somewhat tempted to say Brook because he's shined a lot in The Totland Arc which is refreshing but Luffy arguably has an edge as he's appeared more consistently and has consistently been an amazing character as he usually is.

Secondary Character- Bege. Even though I'm not yet convinced that he's not one of the top 3 least skilled Supernovas Oda has done an amazing job of taking Supernovas who were thought to possibly be multiple leagues inferior to the top Supernovas and has given them some amazing portrayal and feats. Plus The Firetank Pirates have a pretty cool Pirate Ship with a lot of versatility. The castle skills are also pretty cool Devil Fruit skills.

Antagonist- Lord Katakuri.

Male Character- Lord Katakuri.

Female Character- Big Mam's character because her character has feats in a superior league from anything that we've seen so far.

New Character- Lord Katakuri.

Funniest Character- Luffy.

Character Design- Lord Katakuri.

Breakout Character- Bege.

Top Ranked Chapter- Chapter 866.

Top Ranked Secondary Story- The back story of Big Mam's character.

Entrance- Lord Katakuri.

Top Ranked Scene- Big Mam's character easily besting a legendary character at barely more than a toddler.

Funniest Scene- Jinbe including Lord Diesel and Lady Brulee as part of their army. Although Luffy and Brook drinking and eating whatever they want in The Firetank Pirates' Ship is hilarious as well as is the protagonists taking baths.

It's not because you specifically targeted a character I like. And didn't even post any valid criticism against Big Mom, you just mocked the fact that she's my favorite character.

Final warning, stop derailing the thread.

Big Meme is your favorite Charcter

You find it strange how a bunch of ANIME NERDS. Might find a cute strong Bunny girl who can transform into a a cuter stronger bunny girl as appealing. I don't like carrot myself but its not hard to see why people would like her. I question your Otaku level right now my friend.

My memory is shit how long has this arc been going? Was Cracker vs Luffy not this year cause i would say you could argue that agasint his fight with katakuri. Although a lot of people hate cracker so it would be a easy win for Katakuri IMO. Just to be clear so no one attacks my post im not saying cracker vs luffy was a better fight just that it was a actual fight worth discussing unlike stuff like Pedro vs Baron Tamago.

So it should be obvious the cutesy shit aint my jam when it comes to female shonen characters. Note that this has nothing to do with attractiveness (altho I don't find Carrot even remotely attractive) since I also like Robin and Viola.

But even if Carrot cuteness is appealing to peeps, she has 0 other qualities that one might find appealing. Her transformation isnt even unique as the other minks are able to do that and would have enjoyed it much more had Pedro transformed for example.

This is abuse of Mod power if I ever saw one.
You get to dislike and make comment about character that you don't like but it is derailing the thread when someone else does the same?
Some mighty double standards you have here.
Either nobody talks anything about any character here in anyway besides voting in this thread or anything goes. You can't have it both ways.
